Sexual Attraction in the Workplace

Listen to this one hour debate between Christopher Heuertz and Shaunti Feldhahn about whether or not Iowa dentist Dr. James Knight was justified when he fired employee, Melissa Nelson, who worked as a dental assistant for being “irresistible”. Dr. Knight complained Nelson wore tight clothes and was a “detriment” to his family. Knight’s wife demanded he fire Nelson, which he did, and the all-male high court rules her termination did not constitute unlawful gender discrimination.

Listen to the debate first and then weigh in – what do you think about the decision?
